We are transitioning over to a new edition of FrontLine with our podcast interviews today, the September/October edition. The theme of this edition is “Using Your Words: Glorifying God with Language.” I’ve recorded a few interviews with our authors. These will be published in due course. Before we get to them, I want to offer…
How does one sing about the incarnation, crucifixion, and Trinitarian truths in just nine lines? This question stems from Philippians 2:6–8, a passage many see as part of an ancient hymn. Some continue the hymn through Philippians 2:9–11. Seeing Paul’s usual grammar and logic in Philippians 2:9–11 (“For this reason… so that”), some stop short…
Teaching apologetics has taught me a lot. It’s made me learn to think on my feet, and it’s challenged me to think through questions I would never have thought to ask. It has also, at times, helped me to see common yet wrong thinking. This happened a few years ago as we were going through…
One admonition of The Preacher is this, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.” The best time to remember one’s Creator is when your days are young and the sun still…
One of the earmarks of true Christianity is the love that believers have for one another. Shortly before his passion, the Lord instructed his disciples “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that…

On Sunday a gunman drove into a Mormon church in Grand Blanc Michigan, opened fire, killing 4 attendees and setting the church on fire before eventually being shot and killed by…
America is on the verge of a quiet civil war. No, I’m not talking about a war between the political left and the political right, although that may also be brewing. I’m talking about the war between the elites and the populace. The hoity-toity and the hoi polloi, as we might say. Right now these…
FRONTLINE Volume 35 • Number 5 How we speak matters. It matters when words sound from our mouths. It matters when words flow from our keyboards. It matters for preachers, and it matters for ordinary church members. In this issue of FrontLine, we want to ask how God wants us to speak. The first essay…
Our society has comprehensively rejected God’s design for the family. The decline is striking when we compare the words of two influential figures separated by just 69 years. In 1851, Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political thinker who observed early American life, remarked: “There is certainly no country in the world where the tie of…
To the young people who want to start new TPUSA chapters, there is something essential you must address first. As I listened to the Charlie Kirk memorial, I didn’t expect it to come from Tucker Carlson. I was thinking it– and I hoped someone would say it. Here is what he said: Politics, at its…
